Yeah......I'm sorry ....I was young and needed the money ......

Seriously though the other guys are right. The bots run searches and "mine" the data from the servers and that "mined" data is what is used to create spam. You don't realize it; but, a lot of times your email address will be used by others as well to send stuff. I have seen anonymous email programs that you can plug any legit email address in the world into and send an email "from them" to someone else. It sucks; but, it really isn't CHR's fault.
